Probably unsurprisingly, I was utterly inspired by this Matisse exhibition at the Tate Modern. The cut-outs have always appealed to me most out of Matisse's work, but I don't think I'd registered the full breadth of themes. I love the organic motifs that appear again and again, but the pages of his artist-book 'Jazz' offered a whole new world of fantasy and colour that I was less aware of, and a sense of story and narrative. I even managed to sketch while rocking the buggy with my foot!
Now of course, I'd like to take a week off parenthood and spend my time painting and cutting paper in a carefully selected range of colours!
